thank you for posting this. I have an old trolling motor i am about to attempt at making an ice eater. If you dont mind I may have some questions. Such as what lb thrust is your motor? and do you just use a marine battery to run it?

I forget the pounds of thrust but want to say 35 for some reason.Electrical connections are spliced, soldered, siliconed, and wrapped with outdoor electrical tape.Itś a three speed motor, that is why two wires are not connected at all. Thatś low and medium...I put a household plug on the end of the cord, wired a household box with a switch on board the boat, and thatś how I run it.I know there is a better way but I cobbled this together from stuff I already had. The whole idea was make is as cheap as possible. I spent maybe $10 making it.

Here's a picture of legs on it. Conduit cut to length, ends hammered flat, and drilled. Wing nuts go on the bolts that stuck out. By shoving the legs into the mud, or not, the depth and angle can be adjusted.
